April is pretty much done

One last Summer Tanager to round out the month:


Thankfully I had the camera ready this time, rather than the last one (which vanished). Nice bird eh?

We have high hopes for tomorrows birding. You honestly never know in migration, but it is a warm front. 

To finish up, Ken's continued Pelee Island postings... I feel like he should be getting more credit for this blog than me, but it's good filler while I try to stay awake before crashing each evening.

Hey Birders,
 
Another pretty good day, considering its the last day of April! Close to 120 species were seen on the island.
 
Some of the highlights...
 
Summer Tanager - 1 adult male, giving 'cracking' looks! ~200m. south of the East-West Road on Stone Road, picking up worms from the road!
 
White-eyed Vireo - 1 bird at the Winery
Lesser Black-backed Gull - 3 different birds; 2 first-year birds at Fish Point and 1 second year bird near Dick's Marina
Northern Mockingbird - 2 different birds
Black Scoter - 1 female at Fish Point - same bird as yesterday
 
Other interesting birds around, included; Red-headed Woodpecker, Orchard Oriole, Ruby-throated Hummingbird and Blue-winged Warbler.
 
Good Birding!
